Mark Farrelly has carved out a niche for himself, portraying troubled souls in a series of one-man plays, exploring lives that range from Quentin Crisp to Frankie Howerd. Last year he came to the Corn Hall with his take on Patrick Hamilton, the author of Gaslight and Rope. The Corn Hall in St Nicholas Street, Diss. Farrelly plays with that chronology, opening with Jarman in reflective mood, looking back on changing times, as his body is ravaged by AIDS. Farrelly's performance became hard to watch, such was the intensity and commitment he invested into Jarman's final few years.
